<p>The face of academia is changing. It is no longer sufficient to just publish or perish. We are now in an era where Twitter, Github, Figshare, and Alt Metrics are regular parts of the scientific workflow. Here I give high level advice about which tools to use, how to use them, and what to look out for. This book is appropriate for scientists at all levels who want to stay on top of the current technological developments affecting modern scientific careers. The book is based in part on the author’s popular guides including guides for</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://github.com/jtleek/reviews">Reviewing papers</a></li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/jtleek/readingpapers">Reading papers</a></li>

<li><a href="https://github.com/jtleek/talkguide">Giving talks</a></li>
</ul>
<p>The book is probably most suited to graduate students and postdocs in the sciences, but may be of interest to others who want to adapt their scientific process to use modern tools.</p>
<p>The book has a suggested price of $10 but no minimum price and purchase includes access to all updates to the book if you buy it on Leanpub.</p>

<p>Data analysis is at least as much art as it is science. This book is focused on the details of data analysis that sometimes fall through the cracks in traditional statistics classes and textbooks. It is based in part on the authors blog posts, lecture materials, and tutorials such as:</p>

</ul>
<p>The author is one of the co-developers of the Johns Hopkins Specialization in Data Science the largest data science program in the world that has enrolled more than 1.76 million people. The book is useful as a companion to introductory courses in data science or data analysis. It is also a useful reference tool for people tasked with reading and critiquing data analyses.</p>

<h1>Mastering Software Development in R</h1>
<div style="float: right; margin-right:15px">
<a href="https://leanpub.com/msdr"><img src="images/msdr.png" height=400 width=200/></a>
</div>
<p>This book covers R software development for building data science tools. This book provides rigorous training in the R language and covers modern software development practices for building tools that are highly reusable, modular, and suitable for use in a team-based environment or a community of developers.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://leanpub.com/msdr">Mastering Software Development in R on Leanpub</a></li>
</ul>
<p>The world of R has evolved substantially since its early days as a statistical computing language. As the field of data science has rocketed to the forefront of all areas of scientific and industry work, R has become the centerpiece language for doing data science. Through the contributions of a vibrant and highly active developer community, R has evolved to the point where it can be considered a software development language for developing robust, modular, and highly reusable software tools.</p>
<p>We begin by providing a rigorous introduction to the R language, and quickly move on to more advanced aspects like functional programming, object-oriented programming, building R packages, and software maintainence. We also discuss the development of custom visualization tools through packages like ggplot2 and ggmap.</p>
<p>This book is about using R to develop the tools for doing data science. Whether you are on a data science team or working by yourself as part of a community of developers or data scientists, you will find this book useful as a reference for the software development process in R. Throughout, we focus on the aspects of the R language that are relevant to developing code and tools that will be used by others.</p>
